Great parking from the AA next to a busy dual carriageway

On my way, Clacton.

Wish we could do something about this rubbish. Really frustrating that there's this underlying assumption that it's fine to drive your van or car wherever you want because you "need access"

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976
